Hey everyone, I'm on the hunt for a good folding knife and could really use your input. What do you carry on a daily basis, and what makes it your go-to? I'd love to see some pictures too if you have them!
 
Have you owned, or considered a Buck knife ? Their 110 model was a must have when I was in the USN.
Almost everyone bought one out of boot camp. An old friend, a Harley-riding USN Chief, gave me his old work knife. The blade tip was broken, the blade was loose, & it had hammer marks on the brass, from yrs. of use at sea. He told me to take it top the Buck factory & they'd fix it for free.
The Buck knife factory was (@ the time) in El Cajon, Ca. A few miles from San Diego, where I was living@ the time.
I dropped it off @ the factory, they took my phone # & said they'd call when it was finished. They rebuilt the knife, @ no charge.
I still have it, more as a keepsake as the friend that gave it to me passed a few yrs ago.
Top knife is my old 110, the engraved knife was the rebuilt one.
 
I have a pile of knives, but this is the one that's always in my pocket!

American made for a reasonable price, the blades are GREAT!

I love the "assist" when opening too, it's easy to do one handed.

Kershaw Leek and a SOG Flash ll are always on me. The Flash is a spring assisted and is so light, you don't even know that you're carrying it.
 
My older son was a Cutco salesman for awhile. He incurred some debt he didn't have $ to pay, so I "inherited' a couple of his Cutco knives.. they have some nice ones, their Hunting knife ( fixed blade) will easily slice thru 1/4" thick leather.. https://cutco.com/p/hunting-knife&view=product

checked their website for folding knives, apparently they don't make the folder he had..think it was called the Bullwhip ? ( I need to find it)

Cutco makes some nice knives. I traded some reloading components for a Cutco fillet knife. The blade adjustable from 6"-9". Super versatile knife and keeps an edge for a reasonable duration.
